It all depends on how secure you want your PC bearing in mind that higher realtime protection standards such as Norton and Kaspersky have will reduce CPU performance.

I have made a list of the AV'S I have used over the years:

avast! - High detection rate and amazing realtime protection
AVG - Nice GUI, basically classed as a 'slimmed down' version of Kaspersky 7
Kaspersky 7 - High detection rate and some worthwhile premium features

Anyway, don't take my word for it, go out and grab the free trials and see whether you will suit a high detection rate AV such as NOD32 or Kaspersky or a free resource friendly AV such as avast!, AVG or Antivir.
